Hi to all,
 Well guess I am a oldie here cause i have been a para since 1974, I was just
21, at that time I was married with a 3 year old daughter. To make it short he
couldn't handle the fact that I supposely wouldn't have anymore kids, but I
think it was due to me not walking and what comes along with dealing with all
that. But hey life went on, he did try to take my daughter from me cause he
didn't see how I could raise her, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Two years after my
accident I met my now hubby who never once looked at my chair as a problem and
always treated my daughter great which was a plus for me. Well in 1980 we had a
daughter , 4 years later we had a son. My kids are all grown now and have all
grown up to be wonderful adults, my oldest is an LPN , my middle daughter is an
dental assistant, my son hangs steel. I also was always involved with my kids
while in school, I now have 4 wonderful grandkids who keep me going, 12, 10, 7,
and 6. I sometimes think my ex
did me a favor , cause if he hadn't left me I don't think I'd have the
wonderful life I do now. Just wanted to put my 2 cents in and hope we can get
some people talking on this group, would be great to share life stories and what
each of us has to deal with everyday. And where is everyone from??? I am from
Louisiana, deep south, rural small country town, we don't even lock our doors.
Course just hubby and I at home, HAAAA. Everyone have a nice night and lets
chat.
Later, Theresa

friends in the front or back and only needs me if she wants pop corn or candy.

Hi Mary,



What a coincidence! I had my eight year anniversary on Jan 22 of this year.

My sons were in 3rd and 6th grade at the time. My youngest doesn't remember

me walking either.



I was extremely involved with my sons' schools and activities. Now on son is

a Soph. in college and the other is in high school so they don't want me

meddling in their stuff any more.



In fact I went to the same movie theater that my son went to when he was

going with his friends. He was upset because he thought I was "chaperoning"

him. I said I was not even going to the same movie. I think he was

chaperoning us. :-)



Have a great day!



Monica
